This is directed towards our European friends and comrades. Do you have any relatives currently living in North America? Permanently or temporarily?

I suppose this question could also go the other way for us here. I have relatives living in Uppsala, Sweden. Related through our New Sweden forefathers (early 1600's). I also have relatives living in Bolton, England who I really owe a letter to. I love the Wikipedia comment about Bolton: "Bolton is one of the more deprived boroughs in England according to the Indices of Deprivation 2000"
:laugh2: How appropriate, the story of my life, deprived. Or is it depraved?

I used to work in Bolton it's really not a nice place. I have relatives in the States, my great aunt married an American diplomat and they have bred excesivley :) there's more of us there, than there are here!

Ofcourse I do...

Allmost 90% of the Whites residing there are kin...

Edit; The other 10% or more, are racemixers, racetraitors etc. aren't considered kin ...

I haven't done any research to properly answer this question.

With the amount of my namesakes over in America, and my ancestors having lived in major port towns, I would have thought there is.

I do know that there is a lot of us that made it to Australia.

Yes, I have relatives living in Vancouver, no doubt one of the most multicultural cities in the world - Yay! :rolleyes2: Never met them though.

I do have family there, actually. Some relatives by the surname Beehler living in Washington (state). Last thing I heard about my cousin was that she got married and moved to another state (I think Wisconsin but I am not sure).

A branch of my family (sharing the same surname) migrated in northern California about 100 yrs ago.

They live in S.Francisco now. Heavily mixed with Scot-Irish peoples, from what i know.

The vast majority of my relatives would be in Europe, specifιcally France. Only a few settlers left the motherland for the new world, leaving large extemded families behind. Of course, my closer relatives, though fewer, are all in Quebec.

I have plenty of cousins. My great grandad's sister went out there from Ireland. I met my third cousin Liz when I was in New York. One of her sisters had researched that line of my family, so I came home with a nicely extended pedigree!

A great grandfather on the other side was a trigamist, and tricontinental about it too! I thus probably have cousins in Australia and America. :P

I have some distant cousins in Oregon state, never met them. I would like to visit them sometime and see Oregon's enormous trees, I like trees and I live in a country with virtually none.

I always wondered about that. I think I read in the sagas that the island was tree covered when your forebears got there, yes? Would that have been the sort of stumpy dwarf birches and things you see up in northern Russia and the like? Sheltered spots could surely keep a few decent size trees too. And willows and birch can manage just about everywhere. Is there any movement to reforest some parts? That might be nice to see.

I'd like our empty moors to see some return to woodland, too.

Those moors are a lot more colourful than the ones we have here.

Allenson

Interesting--I found the wide open moors of the Isles to be quite facinating, stark & yet beautiful (except those damn midgies!). We have nothing of the sort here except for the high mountain peaks which are above treeline.

Not pine forest please - not much can survive in these areas. It's better to keep the moorland.

Oh good lord, no! I can't stand those endless plantations! There's enough of them already. I'm talking oak, ash, birch and rowan! Derw, onn, bettws, and cerddyn! I love beechwoods too, but I don't think they'd be as suitable up in such exposed places.

Mind you, red squirrels, martens and crossbills like pine, don't they? If it's done in proper old Caledonian style with the right sorts of pine. Capercaillies too. I saw some up in Furness a while back - great sight!

I am sorry you have such problems with your family. Care to share more with us?

I have a very distant relative who is dead now, but who wanted to immigrate to the United States. The thing is, the boat stopped at Argentina first. Since he spoke neither English or Spanish, he thought, well, this must be America, got off the boat, and ended up spending the rest of his life in Argentina. :D

Iceland does have some small woods which have been planted. They are mainly fenced in because sheep ruin the trees.
Birches, sycamores and willows should all do well there.

As for our moorlands, well not the heather moors but those areas called "moors" which are really nothing more than poor grassland.
They should be reforested with mainly native trees and a few non-natives for forestry - oaks, birches, Scots Pine, Sycamore and willows.

In some areas you'd only get scraggy birch or stunted oaks. Wistman's wood is a good example.


Not pine forest please - not much can survive in these areas. It's better to keep the moorland.

Agreed.

Beeches are nice, but they're largely confined to the south for a reason.

Scots Pine went extinct in England in 1670 and was reintroduced no long afterwards. It would have been native to Kielder and parts of the North Pennines.
That is much more preferable to foreign pines that don't belong here. Heather eventually colonises the space below the trees as it would in nature, so moorlands aren't really replaced.

My great grandmother had 10 brothers and sisters, all of whom moved to the United States. She settled in Australia, though.

So yeah, I've got a bunch of relatives in America - probably in New York, Boston, etc. since that's where the Irish mostly went.

There were virtually no Spaniards in the USA until the 1820s when we first purchased Spanish land.
